Tweet of the Night: Bill Simmons shares thoughts on Grizzlies’ mistake against Jamal Crawford

by

Memphis is making a mistake - they should be matching TA vs. Jamal whenever Jamal is in. Like when NHL teams want to shut down hot scorers.

Talk about a statement game for Jamal Crawford. After failing to capture the Sixth Man of the Year award – it went to New York Knicks guard J.R. Smith – as he had hoped, Crawford went out against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 2 of the first round of the Playoffs on Monday with a purpose: he shot six-of-seven from the field on an array of dribbles and crossovers against anyone in his path (Jerryd Bayless in particular) to score

Bernucca: All not lost in lost weekend for road teams

by

Hey, how about those road teams in the playoffs, hunh? It was a lost weekend that would have made Ray Milland proud. I spent huge chunks of Saturday and Sunday at an AAU tournament and missed several games. When I finally got home and turned on the TV, I wished I was back at the AAU tournament. If you didn’t watch the NBA playoffs this weekend, you didn’t miss much. All eight road teams lost Game 1, the first time that has happened

Tweet of the Day: Chandler Parsons

While the new Collective Bargaining Agreement in the NBA was restructured to discourage general managers from handing out lucrative contracts at will, Major League Baseball believes in no such thing. This morning, the Detroit Tigers and pitcher Justin Verlander agreed on a five-year contract extension through 2019 with an option for 2020.  [Read more…]

Tweet of the Night: Bill Simmons

by

It’s been mentioned a number of times in our blogs over the past few nights about the worrisome status of the Los Angeles Lakers after losing Metta World Peace for the season and narrowly escaping Minnesota with a controversial victory. After suffering a 113-103 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday – their fourth loss in the last five games – you have to wonder what it’s going to take for this team to make the playoffs. It matters so much more

On Monday, the Miami Heat’s ridiculous 23-game winning streak was the hot topic at hand, and rightfully so. It’s about time, though, that we start talking more about the Denver Nuggets. For much of the season, there was a clear-cut picture of who the top four teams in the Western Conference would be. San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder have fought for first place for most of the season, the Memphis Grizzlies have won 15 of their last 18 games, and the Los Angeles

SH Blog: League admits blown call against Dahntay Jones, Carmelo’s knee a concern for Woodson

by

A day after watching Kobe Bryant go down with a severely sprained ankle due to Dahntay Jones’ “aggressive” defense, there was much debate about whether the play was dirty and if a foul should have been called on the play. Lets take a look at some of the reactions from around the league. Here is one from Mark Jackson and Bruce Bowen (ironically), from Eric Pincus of Los Angeles Times: [Read more…]

Tweet of the Night: Daryl Morey

With the NBA season slowly but surely winding down, we’re starting to get a clearer understanding of who’s going to be in the playoffs, who’s going to be out and who’s going to fight until the very end. Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks are seeds No. 7 and 8 respectively in the Eastern Conference, and both are in a dog fight – whether they want to admit it or not – to avoid facing the Miami Heat in the first round.

The Boston Celtics are winners of seven straight no more. Coming off an exhilarating 118-114 triple-overtime victory over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, the Celtics could not muster enough energy to overcome the domination of Charlotte Bobcats center Byron “don’t call me B.J.” Mullens on Monday night. Mullens – who has been on a roll with averages of 17.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and two 3-pointers in five February games – had his best all-around performance of his career with 25 points, 18
